I hope it does get out of control tonight, liven things up.

Everyone is talking about Wiggins/Froome but how long will Tejay hang around if Cadel has a bad day? Currently 7th and in the white jersey, I think the top 5 is within reach with his TTing ability.

Leggett and Sherwin keeps on saying that the other GC teams will need to come up and lift the pace. But apart from Sky, none of the others have many (if any) super-domestics left to push the pace. Hardly possible for Nibali or Cadel to come up and drag the peloton.

Dont drag it then. Attack! Noone remembers second place! They may aswell give everything to try and win even if it doesnt pay off.

They have to do something if they want to win. Then again, with the pace Sky set maybe they can't. I don't think there is enough time to be made on one mountain, they need to go out earlier. Following Sky to the last mountain is a recipe for not making any time back.

Cadel has cracked. He may get back to the Wiggins group on the descent but will almost certainly get dropped again on the final climb.Hopefully Nibali can make a big move on Wiggins. Lets at least make the race for yellow somewhat interesting.
